I think you’ve hit the nail on the head when you say “the biggest problem is that each sides narrative requires the others to be illegitimate”. Without even discussing land, cooperation or rights this one phrase sums up the impasse.... - Paulleverich...
"No, I don't think I'd choose my own legal code entirely. Laws exist because human beings are capable of incredible kindness and breathtaking stupidity before breakfast. A society needs a framework bigger than any one person's preferences.... I wholeheartedly agree we need to become a more mature species; especially the kind of intelligence that can empathize, love, sacrifice, and has wisdom. I dont think cognitive intelligence alone can do the trick (which i think may be extremely relevant to AI).... - Terry387...

Wisdom, as one of the four Stoic virtues, is (I believe) the most important virtue. The others, Courage, Justice and Temperance (or Self Discipline) all need Wisdom to be used soundly.... - IsBix...
To call an entire group of people 'rabid' sounds exactly like the comments the racists made about African Americans. In a literal sense it is just a lie. Which means you are choosing it to be insulting and derogatory. Which is shameful and disgusting.... - kenofearth...
Granted, but when ideas conflict, evidence is partial, and stakes are real; when under uncertainties, instabilities, time and performance imperative pressures, especially affecting from narrowly scoped and domained interests with power, clarities so often have stowaway costs,... Some opinions are just wrong. Homophobia, transphobia, sexism, racism, and bigotry are not political issues. They're moral issues.

The word "alignment" has been reduced to meaning something like "it won't give you a meth recipe unless you know how to jailbreak it", and the companies go around saying things like "look how aligned our model is" in a way that is mostly about this property and not very much... - Stephanie...
Do you think it would be helpful and do you believe it’s possible for there to be a global citizen consensus that we should not make AGI (or at least pause until we understand better)? If yes to both, what can we all be doing? Do we need a centralized movement?... - johnaweiss...
What is a "mission-driven organization"? You are saying "companies". If it's a "company", then its MISSION is to make money. A "company" doesn't "need money to survive"; a company survives to make money. Ries speaks as if there's some other mission.... - Godless Guru...
It is quite impossible to prevent or entirely rid any ‘mission-driven’ organization or institution of corruption. Authentic human behavior and personal motives are, of necessity, subordinated to ‘mission’ or greater cause....
